So I just updated my 9900 to the 7.1 update from Telus. When I want to text my girlfriend I usually use emoticons in the messages. She has a curve 9360 but no bbm (not included in her plan ) but ever since I updated to the 7.1 update..there is absolutely no option for 'data coding' in the text messages menu. It was there before and now it's nowhere to be found. I want to change it to 'UCS2' but now I can't...can anybody help me?
It is still there, however now it is automatic and switches between 7 bit and UCS2 automatically if you use any special characters in the message. It is in text messages options and just enable "Allow Special Characters" option. I can confirm that it works because as soon as I turned it on it let me send characters in different language. I could not do it before.
